The Samsung SGH-A717 for Cingular

The A717, an Ultra Edition clamshell from Samsung, really took us by surprise; it's not mentioned in Samsung's press materials, so there's not a heck of a lot we can say about it beyond the specifications we found and the conspicuous orange splat on the OK button. Thanks to a rotating 2 megapixel cam and tri-band HSDPA, this device should be positioned to fortify Cingular's clamshell video share lineup alongside the LG CU500v. Other specs include an external 96 x 32 OLED, A2DP, and microSD expansion. Click through for more pics.

What the... screw the battery cover, let's see the full frontal! I wonder what the difference is between this and the Sync besides the rotating camera.

Yep, thats just my D830 with quad band ,HSDPA and a rotating camera. Looks like they improved the keypad somewhat.
